Vice Ganda shared that he now prefers a smaller and simpler house to live in.
In an interview with MJ Felipe on the TFC show Are You G?, the It’s Showtime host said that while he once dreamed of living in a big house, he now finds himself leaning toward something more practical.
"Nagbago na 'yung trip ko. Gusto ko ng mas maliit na bahay. Gusto ko na ng mas simple lang. Gusto ko ng kulay puting buhay. Dati ayaw ko ng puting bahay gusto ko dark siya," he shared.
When asked what prompted the change, he pointed to a shift in mindset. "Siguro 'yung state of mind, 'yung sensibilities mo nag-iiba habang tumatanda ka di ba?Siyempre nung walang-wala ka, ang dream mo malaking-malaki. Ganun ako dati lalo nung bata pa ako, malala akong mangarap. Malala 'yung mga goals ko."
Now that he’s achieved those dreams, Vice said he finds joy in going back to basics. "Tapos siyempre ang sarap sa pakiramdam na na-achieve mo 'yun pero pagkatapos ng lahat, babalik at babalik ka sa basic eh. Okay na na-achieve ko na 'to, narasan ko na. Gusto ko 'yung mas simple, mas nagkikita kami ng mga gusto kong makita sa bahay. Hindi 'yung 'pag dalawa lang kami ni Ion hahanapin ko siya [sa bahay]," he said.
The comedian recalled moments when his current house felt too big for just him and his partner Ion Perez, especially when he had trouble looking for him due to the many different areas and rooms.
"Sabi ko [kay Ion], 'Alam mo ang laki nito para sa ating dalawa, napapagod ako,' sabi kong ganun.. sabi ko dapat mas maliit na lang bahay 'yung natin para hindi tayo nagtataguan," he said.
Vice also noted the high costs and difficulty of maintaining a large house.
"Magastos, ang hirap niyang i-maintain. Siyempre ang hirap ma-maintain ng bahay. Konting kebot meron kang mapapanasin, may sasablay... At tsaka 'yung mga tubo tubo, may tutulong ganyan. Sabi ko hindi na natapos," he pointed out.
"Lahat ng nagpagawa ng bahay alam kong nauunawaan nila 'yun na hindi natatapos ang pagpapagawa. Akala ko dati lang iyon, 'yung pucho-pucho 'yung bahay namin pag-uulan, may tutulo, may magle-leak, ganyan. Hindi pala, kahit parang feeling mo ang tino nung bahay mo, may nasisira."
